The Scrapped Games Show

EPISODE 1 — EccentroPizza, the TRTF/The Return to Freddy's AU in disguise


BACKSTORY

Alright, let's begin.

EccentroPolis wasn't really a game, since at this point it was just a concept. The idea for the concept was to be a REGRETEVATOR-inspired ROBLOX game centered around a group of influencers (you and other players) that are owned by a company and demand that you create content or explore New America. This is where EccentroPolis is set in, you and other players in a company bus and all types of wacky stuff happens.

There were going to be a few guest ("borrowed") appearances and floors/stops themed after their respective media; such as Ty from Tycrazmania. Fazbear Fantasy Land stop that lasted about one minute, with you having to survive Lockjaw and his friends.

Then, the concept changed into "Too boring! Change it to Work At A Pizza Place mixed with REGRETEVATOR"! Thus, EccentroPizza was born.

The game was set in a small town in America set around an alternate universe of The Return to Freddy's: The Dreadful Truth. Alei, after his father's death and seeing the "Super Cancer" virus spread from country to country, state to state... gets an amazing idea to help get volunteers for the "Save The Kids Project".

RADPIZZA. A pizzeria with, well, everything you can think of. It was kind of themed around the Gilbert Facility. The workers would there also be contributing to the Save The Kids project, so it would be a win win for Alei and the dead Gilbert.

The reason why this was scrapped? Our audience didn't like it, or a minority of the part and few cared. Personally, I didn't really like the concept. What did it have that was so special from REGRETEVATOR?


CHARACTERS

There's a few that got concepts, and others that didn't. Let me tell you about them! You could meet these characters either randomly, or through special events! Interactions were planned, such as trying to comfort Zack with a special NPC. Concept art as always, made by Abry/Bivey! Our OTHER studio artist.


Elizabeth Bäirren

img_1374.jpg

The wife of the twisted Fazbear Inc. founder, Alison Bäirren. Not much is written about her, aside from the fact that she uses a basket. For things. I guess.


SECURITY BOT

A security bot engineered by the Gilbert Facility to... well... keep things in check. Rumors go around that they once tried to attack Lloyd, the previous night guard—though.


Carson Takaliken

Everybody's favorite police investigator! Sometimes, even cops need a little break at the town's favorite pizzeria.

... just hope he doesn't show up. Lord knows what'll happen if the two meet face-to-face.


Grape/Redd The Rat

This was one of the "guest characters" that was meant to appear in the game. (@JRWELLS , say hi) They were originally animatronic-like, before we decided to go the "furry" way. There are no remnants of concepts or models, as all I have is their description.

"What? You're telling me these things are real and not just from the internet? Don't let them eat the anti-dote!"

But who knows, maybe guest appearances will be a thing in DREADWALKER? That's up to our decision, though.


Zack

A game developer who was laid off by one of the most successful studios around America, forcing him in a forever sad state. He will constantly be sad around the pizzeria, fantasizing about how successful his life would be if the studio didn't lay him and his buddies off.


Lynda Takaliken

Grön Takaliken's wife that died KILLED BY A FAKE DOCTOR in a car crash. Just don't stay too long in the storage room or sewers, she might pop out of the shadows.

Also, you would've been able to get Carson and Lynda to meet each other and have a family re-union.

Fun fact, the "DREADWALKER subtitle placement" post is partially related to something I've been thinking about to replace the elevator rides when getting to the end of a floor.

My Black Mirror Review........... Likeandsubscri

The Return to Freddy's 3

Online-only and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race.

WHY IS IT CRUSTY

I mean, technically it is a DREADWALKER recode update. It's just got some... placeholder assets.
